BIG.J Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Not done this before so take it easy on me..Lol I have an SWR ST-220 head / Pre - Amp which runs = 140w @ 8ohms 220w @ 4ohms I would like to use this unit with a power amp for larger gigs via its PRE-AMP OUT, so looking for a cheap option? I already have an old Marshall 9000 series power amp but its 2 channel 200w & 200w @ 4ohms each. I am using the SWR Henry 8x8 cab rated at 480w @ 4ohms so don't need a mega amp.. Any ideas would be great? Cheers Justin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 The old HH power amps tend to regularly sell for very reasonable prices on ebay. A few people on the forum have quite cheap Class-D amps they picked up somewhere, but I can't remember where. Keep in mind that going from 220 watts to 480 watts will only be around a 3dB increase in volume -- but of course, sometimes that's all you need.
